‘I don’t have a home to go to’: Bizarre moment Biden insists staying at his beach house is NOT a vacation as the Secret Service makes upgrades to his other Delaware home
- President Biden told reporters Sunday after mass in Rehoboth that he “has no home to go to” by suggesting his beach house visits are not vacations
- On Monday, Biden said in Philadelphia: ‘It’s good to be almost home’
- Biden revealed in April that his longtime primary residence in Wilmington is undergoing security upgrades. He hasn’t spent a night there in several months
Joe Biden claims his recent string of stays at his Rehoboth Beach home are not vacations, as he cannot return to his Wilmington home while it undergoes security upgrades.
Speaking to reporters Sunday in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, after a mass service, the president said unprompted, “I don’t have a home to go to.”
Nearly every weekend, Biden escapes from Washington DC to Delaware — all the while spent at his home in Wilmington, Delaware. However, it has been several months since he spent a night at his primary residence while the Secret Service performed security upgrades there.
“So I have nowhere to go when I come to Delaware except here, right now,” Biden said, speaking of his home in Rehoboth. “I’m only here for one day.”
Biden’s bizarre comments left journalists wondering if he was suggesting on Sunday that he is homeless.

“No, I’m not homeless,” he assured. ‘I only have one house. I have a beautiful house. I’m here for a day because I can’t go home, home.’
Biden said the work being done on his Wilmington home will make it safer “in a good way.”
Biden’s Wilminton home was one of the few places where a stash of classified documents was found. Specifically at that home, the marked materials were discovered in his garage.
He first told reporters about the security improvements in April — the same month he announced his re-election bid — as he made his way to the beach house after returning from a trip to Ireland.
